Description
The Linux Security Cookbook provides practical solutions to common security problems for Linux systems. This book presents a series of easy-to-follow recipes that administrators can use to improve security and perform tasks securely. With over 150 ready-to-use scripts and configuration files, this unique book helps administrators secure their systems without having to look up specific syntax. The book covers topics such as establishing a secure system, secure day-to-day practices, and techniques for maintaining system security. By following the recipes in this book, you can implement real-world solutions to targeted problems, including sending encrypted email within Emacs, restricting access to network services, firewalling a webserver, preventing IP spoofing, and setting up key-based SSH authentication.
